We were called out to this past customer’s house in Salt Lake City because the shower handle had unexpectedly broken off on their Moen Posey temp shower. That occasionally happens from time to time—there’s just a…

Salt Lake City · Sep 6, 2026
We got called out to a rental in the Cottonwood Heights because the tub was in rough shape. The drain was leaking down below and heavily corroded, and the tub spout just would not stop dripping.…

Rust builds up inside galvanized water pipe and leaves less room for water to pass. Scale inside an old cast-iron drain can catch waste and contribute to repeated clogs. We inspect the affected pipe to decide whether a small repair will hold or a longer section needs replacing.
At a Sugar House home, we replaced an outdoor faucet and connected it with new copper to the existing galvanized water line.
Faucets & fixture shutoffs
On our Salt Lake City high-rise faucet job, the old shutoff valves would not close. We coordinated a shutdown with the building, replaced them with quarter-turn valves, then installed the faucet, supplies and drain.
Those valves let us turn off water to just the sink. When they won’t close, we need a working shutoff farther back on the water line. In a condo, that can mean scheduling a building shutdown for a faucet repair.
Booking a condo repair? Include your building maintenance contact and any scheduled water-shutdown times.
Water, drains & fixture installation
Choose the tub, shower valve and sink before we run the pipes. Their dimensions set the connection locations, and it’s much easier to adjust them before the wall is tiled. We install the hidden piping first, then return to connect the fixtures after the tile and cabinets are in.
Our Salt Lake City laundry project followed recurring drain trouble. The upgrade included a deep laundry sink with new water and drain connections. You can see the installation in the project photos.
The plumbing beneath Salt Lake City
Near Second Avenue and Canyon Road, crews dug up an original water main during the city’s 1976 centennial. The 16-inch cast-iron pipe still carried its maker’s mark: “D.L. 1875.” The city reported it in excellent condition.
That stamp traced back to Dennis Long & Company in Louisville. Its pipe arrived by rail in 1875 for the City Creek waterworks, bringing pressurized water down to the city.
The city found that pipe in excellent shape after a century underground. Age is useful background, but the condition of the pipe is what we need to see before recommending replacement.
Salt Lake City’s service-line map lets you search an address to see the recorded water-line material. For an unknown line, Public Utilities offers a free inspection. It is a useful starting point when buying an older home or planning a service-line replacement.
The Sewer Lateral Map shows mains, laterals and manholes, with permit-note PDFs available by address. Those records can help establish the documented connection before a camera inspection or underground repair.
The city supplements mountain-stream water with harder well water during summer. That seasonal blend is a reason to measure hardness at your home when sizing a softener or adjusting its settings. Mineral deposits at fixtures and water-heating equipment are worth checking during service.
Your Salt Lake City plumbing visit
Call, book online or text a photo. Include your address, what is happening and when it started. For a replacement, a picture of the fixture and its model label helps us prepare.
Have a condo shutdown to arrange, a tenant to coordinate with or a remodel underway? Tell us when you get in touch so we can plan around it.
The price, in plain terms
A quote for work at your Salt Lake City home should make the scope clear. Check who handles access and patching, whether any further diagnosis costs extra, and what happens if opening things up reveals more damage.
Found a lower number? Ask us why ours is different. Bring both descriptions of the work. Compare the equipment, repair scope and exclusions before deciding what the difference buys. A higher price alone doesn't prove a better job.

A few useful answers
Book online or call/text (385) 766-8935 with your address and what’s happening. Photos of the problem help us identify the fixture and prepare for the visit.
We price the work before starting. The part is only one piece of the job: reaching a pipe behind tile takes more work than reaching one under an open sink. Send us photos of the problem and the surrounding area so we can talk through the repair.
Call or text (385) 766-8935 with your address and what is happening so we can check availability. For an active supply leak, close a working fixture shutoff or the main house valve. Salt Lake City Public Utilities takes reports of street-main or meter emergencies at (801) 483-6700.
Yes. Tell us who can approve the work and let us into the property. If the building shares a water supply, include the maintenance contact so we can arrange a shutdown when needed.
Installing or changing plumbing can require a permit and inspection. Salt Lake City accepts applications through its Citizen Access Portal. The inspector needs to see the new piping before drywall or tile covers it, so include that visit in the remodel schedule. Work on designated historic properties can also need a Planning review.
Often, the worn part inside a shower valve can be replaced through the opening behind the handle. On one Salt Lake City job, we removed a stuck handle and found the matching part so we could repair the shower and leave the valve in the wall. We check for damage to that valve and whether replacement parts are still available.
Start with our water-line or sewer guide below. Each explains the repair methods and lists the current contact for that work.
